Making dua in sajdah in Salaah
Question
I was told that one is allowed to recite any dua in Arabic in the sajda of one's salaah. I understand this does not refer to fard salaah. Is this allowed in the sunnah salaah, e.g. 4 rakaats before zuhr and the salaah after the fard salaah. Please assist.
Answer
Yes. However the dua should conform to the duas that have been reported in the Hadith.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
